    You will face Lesbian rebels in Phrygia, and maybe another province.

    The word lesbian is derived from the island Lesbos. As I recall from reading a newspaper, there was a powerful woman living there, who some other men of Greece wasn't that happy about. So they, started planting rumours about her having sexual relations with other women.

    The poet Sappho of Lesbos actually was lesbian. She wrote many love poems to women.

    Btw, you need to turn on the AA and the AF, your image quality looks horrible.

    Hence the term "Sapphic love".

    I'll gladly turn on AA and AF when I upgrade my system. But I'm content to run these details at a fairly ok frame rate for now. I just knew someone would comment on how bad the settings were

    Don't feel bad, mine looks exactly like that.

    Can't wait for all my new parts to come in so I can put my new system together! Something tells me I won't even recognize this game......especially if they put out the desperately needed patch between now and then.

    I assumed it would be something like that. Learn something every day eh?

    Of course... now I realise how weird the thread title looks. Maybe that 56k warning wasn't such a good idea.

    In my last game there was a huge outbreak of lesbian rebels around 168-170-ish...

    Maybe all of you know this but homosexual affairs were generally accepted in the classic cultures. It is known that spartan boys were made to have sex together so that they would be more of a unit on the battlefield.

    Only the Greeks culture. The Romans were extremely conservative until the imperial era.

    Yes of course!!
    That explains why the legionaires of Julius Sezar used to call him:
    "The lover of all women and mistress of all men".
    And with my little history knowledge i think that he lived before the "imperial era".
